A woman has undergone life-saving treatment for a tumour which was discovered at a routine eye test. Lollipop lady Karen Richards was experiencing headaches and double vision when she visited a Specsavers optometrist in July 2022.
She had already been seen by one optometrist who couldn't find anything wrong but Barry optometrist Helen Hopgood spotted a problem straightaway and 61-year-old Karen was immediately referred to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
Karen underwent a scan before being referred to an ear, nose, and throat specialist who identified a nasal tumour, reports Wales Online.
